i agree with this somewhat, i support as much as my wallet will let me, but i have been shopping less at walmart now that the ALDI awesomeness has made it's way to the states! There aren't any independent grocery stores here and if there is (central market) it's so expensive that i can't afford to buy anything but speciality foods.
